In recent years, electric rc helicopters have seriously fallen in price, become widely available and have become much easier to fly through greater stability, making them the ultimate "must have" control model radio.
As a result, they now constitute the fastest growing sector of the radio control hobbies flight, and models displayed on this page are fairly typical examples helicopters that were responsible for this huge explosion.
One type of electric rc helicopter which was so popular with newcomers is the fixed-pitch (FP) 4 channel model, as the Walkera Dragonfly 4, shown below. There are several of these helicopters available from different manufacturers, all based on the same basic design (the Venom Night Ranger and EF Sabre, for example).
Sold ready to fly (RTF), the PC 4 channels electric rc helicopters are ideal for beginners. They are still a challenge to begin with, but are a good, affordable introduction to multi-channel model helicopter flight.
Also, spare parts for this type of helicopter are widely available and cheap. Indeed, much of the helicopter learning curve is the purchase of spare parts, after those who are not less good landings!
The Walkera Dragonfly 4 has been and continues to be a very popular seller. I myself one, and you can read about this in more detail if these pages.
